How long until we see third party lightning cables?

Is it going to be possible for the third party cable makers to make copies of the lightning cable or has apple put something in them that will make that difficult. I mean you pick up 30 pin connectors on amazon for like $5.00 including the shipping so how long until lightning cables like that start showing up.(well maybe not $5 but you get the idea)
